Chapter 1108: Thunderclap

Qi Xia knew that Xuanwu wouldn't stand a chance against Qinglong in the upcoming fight.

After all, Xuanwu had already used all her strength, while Qinglong seemed to be toying with her like a helpless monkey.

At that moment, all the wounds on Qinglong's body were healing rapidly, whereas Xuanwu showed no signs of self-regeneration. She stood in place, breathing a bit heavily.

If the battle continued like this, Xuanwu would eventually turn into a pile of wriggling flesh and blood fragments.

Qi Xia turned his head to look at Qinglong's expression. Although Xuanwu hadn't hurt Qinglong, everything so far seemed worthwhile.

How could rapid body recovery have no effect on Qinglong at all?

The frenzied look on his face was becoming more and more apparent. The deeper the belief took root, the greater its influence on Qinglong.

His thoughts would gradually become frenzied, and it would have a positive impact on the plans ahead.

Xuanwu stared at Qinglong for a moment, then reached out to flex the strange "weapon" in her hand.

Her idea was simple: since she had wounded Qinglong once, she could certainly do it again.

If she could wound him, then Qinglong could be killed.

It wasn't a question of whether it was difficult; it was just about whether she put in the effort.

Xuanwu dragged her right arm, which in turn dragged the spine, the two forming a bizarre structure like a scythe.

The spine scraped against the ground, producing a strange and piercing sound.

"Ha ha..."

Qinglong grinned and said,"With just 'Bumiemie' and 'Shenli'... how exactly do you plan to kill me?"

"I'll kill you eventually..."

Xuanwu murmured softly,"I just need to try a bit harder."

Qinglong felt he had heard this ridiculous argument more than once. No matter how difficult something was, people always thought the reason it couldn't be achieved was because they "didn't try hard enough."

Xuanwu thought that way, and so did Qi Xia.

They believed that with enough time and effort, mortals could even defy the heavens.

But Qinglong always found it laughable. If mortals could defy the heavens, what was the point of the heavens?

"Xuanwu... from now on, I'll show you what true 'difference' means."

"Dif...ference...?"

Qinglong, with a frenzied expression, pointed his hand toward the sky. Xuanwu raised her strange "scythe" cautiously, ready to defend against any attack from Qinglong.

But an unexpected scene unfolded before her.

Within the entire "Cangjie Qi" arena, strange dark clouds began to gather out of nowhere in the black heights above.

The clouds churned like raging waves in the air, with countless flashes of lightning flickering within them.

Xuanwu slowly widened her eyes, as if remembering something. This was Qinglong's "Jinglei."

It was a bizarre ability that all "Shen Shou" and "Shengxiao" had heard of but never truly witnessed—a terrifying "Xianfa" that was likely Qinglong's most powerful killing technique.

Boom.

"Xuanwu, if you admit your mistake and leave now, and go back to being my dog, then nothing will have happened."

Qinglong said.

Perhaps to anyone else, Qinglong's words wouldn't shake them, but Xuanwu hesitated at that moment.

She had already defied Qinglong so severely—not only fighting him fiercely but even splitting open his skull with his own spine... Could he really pretend nothing had happened?

If what Qinglong said was true, then leaving now would be the best choice.

Because facing Qinglong in this state, Xuanwu was already afraid.

She felt like she was doing something extremely dangerous. For decades in "Taoyuan," she had moved around like a walking corpse. She could strike at anyone, yet she had never felt fear until now.

"It's hard."

Xuanwu said.

"Hmm?"

"Life is hard, 'Taoyuan' is hard, and defeating you is hard."

Xuanwu said,"Now, even standing in front of you feels hard."

"You can collapse if you can't hold on."

Qinglong laughed,"I'll have the 'Shuangsheng Hua' on the 'Lietrain' continue to treat you. But if you keep defying me, these wounds will never heal again."

Boom.

"But I've finally gotten this chance."

Xuanwu slowly lifted her head, her cold gaze piercing through her long hair,"For decades, this is the only time I've had the chance to defy you. Do you know how precious this opportunity is to me?"

"Even if you end up in pieces, it doesn't matter?"

Qinglong asked again.

"In 'Taoyuan'... the first person I wanted to kill was myself, and the second was you."

Xuanwu said gravely,"I never got the chance to kill myself, but I have the chance to kill you... How could I give that up?"

Boom.

Thunder rumbled throughout the arena, as if the entire sky was enraged. The interplay of light and shadow flashed over their figures, like spotlights on a stage.

"That's not right."

Qinglong shook his head with a smile,"In my view, the first person you wanted to kill was me, and the second was yourself. Otherwise, you wouldn't have protected your vital points while fighting me."

"Is that so..."

Xuanwu nodded ambiguously,"The best outcome... might be for both of us to die here together... but that's hard..."

Qinglong smiled, about to strike, but once again, he lifted his head in a daze.

That strange feeling came again...

The terrifying and absurd illusions flooded into his mind wildly.

He saw himself collapsing at the front of the train.

All his beliefs shattered in that instant, and his "Xianfa" failed completely.

But Tianlong was sitting there unscathed, not having moved at all. How could his beliefs collapse?

Xuanwu precisely caught the moment Qinglong was distracted and leaped forward.

Qinglong snapped back to reality, annoyed and chaotic, and casually struck out with a palm. Xuanwu caught it with one hand and staggered back repeatedly, nearly tripping over her long hair and falling.

Qinglong's face darkened extremely, feeling that he needed to check the situation at the "Chetou" right away.

If these illusions kept coming from the "Chetou," it meant something had happened there.

So, the Xuanwu in front of him had to be dealt with immediately. If the plan really had a flaw, no matter what was happening with Qi Xia, his own plan to kill Tianlong would fall apart.

Thinking of this, Qinglong quickly raised his hand toward the sky and clenched it into a fist.

A low roar came from above, followed by a massive thunderclap. Countless electric sparks scattered, as if a huge lightning bolt was about to strike.

Xuanwu looked up in slight terror. She knew that even with "Bumiemie," she couldn't escape unharmed if hit by the lightning.

After all, the most powerful thing she had ever seen in her life was the lightning that struck her village.

"It's too hard..."

Xuanwu murmured,"All of this is too hard..."

She moved her feet, trying to use "Yueqian" to dodge the massive lightning at the last second.

But before her foot even touched the ground, she was controlled by "Duo Xin Po."

Boom!

A massive flash of light illuminated the arena, making it as bright as day.

Qi Xia endured the glare and forced his eyes open, seeing many "doors" in the sky above.
